🎩 The Gentlemen (Netflix): When British Fashion Meets Timeless Eyewear
With Netflix’s The Gentlemen bringing Guy Ritchie’s signature blend of class, chaos and charm to our screens, one thing is certain — style takes centre stage. From sharply tailored suits to luxury accessories, every look in the series speaks to old-money refinement with a modern edge.
At Burghley & Co, we noticed something very specific behind the scenes of all that suave confidence: the eyewear.
👔 The Modern Gentleman’s Look — Eyewear that Commands Respect
Eddie Horniman (Theo James)
Netflix’s newest “gentleman” pairs heritage charm with effortless charisma — and the eyewear matches. Eddie sports classic tortoiseshell optical frames, the Garrett Leight Kinney, known for its subtle 1960s influence.

🎬 How The Gentlemen Redefines British Luxury
The show’s success isn’t just about plot twists — it’s a visual language: bespoke tailoring, rich textures, and eyewear that completes the look.
This “modern aristocracy” aesthetic perfectly aligns with Burghley & Co’s philosophy: craftsmanship, individuality, and quiet confidence.
In true British style, your eyewear should never shout — but it should always be noticed.
